073 Determined
When Gu Qingwan returned to Yuanxiang Pavilion, it was already approaching. In the summer, it is dark late, and the sun has not yet set, but the heat is also very heavy. Although Gu Qingwan came back in a sedan chair, there was still a scorching sun overhead, and it was very hot all the way down.
The light rain sent Gu Qingwan to Yuanxiang Pavilion, saw her enter the courtyard, turned around and went along the same road without looking back.
Before going to the outer courtyard, Gu Qingwan left Baotian in Mrs. Gu's courtyard, and after Hongjin went to Xiaosun's Jinhui Hall, she went straight back to Yuanxiang Pavilion, and now only Guiye came back with her.
The yard was very quiet, except for the cicadas hissing one after another in the begonia tree in the corner of the yard. Gu Qingwan and Gui Ye both felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, the two glanced at each other, and Gui Ye raised his foot to block Gu Qingwan, and cautiously moved towards the courtyard.
Gu Qingwan just felt that something was wrong, but she didn't feel as serious as Gui Ye thought, and was about to laugh when she heard a thin sobbing sound coming from the ear room on the right.
Gui Ye's expression relaxed a little, and the second ear room on the right side was the residence of Bao Tian and Jin Hai.
When Mrs. Gu sent Baotian and Jin Hai to Yuanxiang Pavilion, Gu Qingwan was hiding in the house and pretending to be depressed, so the two of them were arranged by Guiye [The big girls who came to Yuanxiang Pavilion all lived in a single room, but the people who served around each girl had a rule, and the ear rooms on both sides of the main house of Yuanxiang Pavilion had already been full.
Bao Tian and Jin Hai were specially given to Gu Qingwan by Mrs. Gu, and the ear room of Yuanxiang Pavilion barely cleaned up an empty room. Gui Ye is a person who admits death, and refuses to let the two of them move to live in the wing, only letting the two of them squeeze together.
After Gu Qingwan gradually returned to "normal", Tian and Jin Hai thought that Gu Qingwan would make arrangements, but they didn't expect Gu Qingwan to care about where they wanted to live at all. It's okay for a while.
The cry came from the room, but I don't know if it was Bo Tian or Jin Hai. Gu Qingwan thought of what happened in Tansong Courtyard before, and she was a little depressed. She originally wanted to give Bodan a chance. Besides, it is not too difficult to let Bao Tian tell the truth, but he didn't expect Bao Tian to only recognize the old lady as a master.
Old Madam Gu was afraid that she was also taking precautions, and Bao Tian and Jin Hai were sent to Yuanxiang Pavilion, but the deed of sale of the two of them was still in Mrs. Gu's hands.
When they first arrived at Yuanxiang Pavilion, Gu Qingwan deliberately let the two of them squeeze into a room, just to suppress the arrogance of the two of them. You must know that although she hid in the house and didn't do anything, she also heard Gui Ye say that Bao Tian and Jin Hai arrived at Yuanxiang Pavilion, and felt that she was very remarkable from Tansong Courtyard, and pointed fingers at the things in Yuanxiang Pavilion.
Since that time, Bao Tian and Jin Hai have restrained a lot, and Gu Qingwan asked herself if she was very good to them.
It's a pity that they are too loyal to Old Madam Gu.
Gu Qingwan sighed, and saw Bi Liuha come out of her room with her waist bent. When he passed by Bao Tian's house, he sneaked a peek inside. The movements were cautious, as if they were afraid of alarming something. It's a pity that when she turned around, she saw Gu Qingwan and Gui Ye standing behind her, and she almost screamed in fright.
Gui Ye's eyes widened, and Bi Liu's exclamation was swallowed, but her voice was still very small: "The girl is back, and Sister Baotian has been crying in the house since she came back an hour ago." Sister Momozhi went in, probably because she had some kind of quarrel. After a while, he ran out angrily and brushed the Chunlan in the yard again. ”
No wonder the yard is so quiet, the feeling is that the little maids are afraid of being taken to the wrong place by the peach branches, so they don't dare to shake in the yard.
Seeing that Gu Qingwan nodded and went straight into her room, Bi Liu hurriedly said: "Girl, don't you go and take a look, I just looked through the crack in the door, Sister Tian has been crying since she came back, and her eyes are swollen like peaches." ”
It's a pity that before she finished speaking, Gu Qingwan waved her hand and had already left.
Gui Ye nodded at Biliu's forehead and said, "She cries about her, what does it matter to the girl, and she has to work hard for the girl to see her, what a big face." She raised her voice a little, and winked at Biliu again, "How do I teach you on weekdays, you have to be a girl in everything, and do what an irrelevant person does." If every girl in the yard cries, the girl has to go and see in person, what kind of system it has become. ”
After that, he pulled Biliu, who was still ignorant, into the house.
The crying in the ear room stopped for a moment, and after a while there was a thin choking sound.
"But when Sister Baotian went back to the yard, she cried and said that she was sorry for the girl, so I wanted to ask the girl if she wanted to take a look." Biliu was half-dragged by the laurel leaves, still struggling.
It wasn't until he was sure that she couldn't hear her voice in the ear room that Guiye sighed: "But as long as you have half the wit of the red brocade, I won't be worried." After that, she smiled to herself again, "Forget it, stupid people have stupid blessings, and the girl just likes your stupidity." ”
Seeing that Bi Liu was not happy, Gui Ye hurriedly changed the topic: "You ask someone to go to the kitchen to fetch a bucket of water, the girl is afraid that she will have to bathe later." ”
There is something to do, Biliu just forgot about Fang Cai Baotian, and Huan Huan went out.
On this day, when Bao Tian cried until it was dark, she saw that Gu Qingwan had not come to her house to see the situation, and she cried in front of Jin Hai again. After thinking about it, he could only get up and go to Gu Qingwan's house by himself. Before Gu Qingwan could speak, she knelt down, and Gu Qingwan couldn't hold on to letting her get up.
Gu Qingwan saw that she couldn't persuade left and right, and she didn't care anymore. After Bao Tian knelt for half an hour, she said leisurely: "I asked you to get up, but you refused to get up, didn't you threaten me with this?" If you kneel down again, tomorrow I will go to the Tansong Courtyard and ask Sister Yuzhan to bring you back. ”
With the old lady's temperament, if she was sent back by the third girl, the old lady would be willing to take a breath, she would definitely be sent to Zhuangzi Tian was not lightly frightened, and she didn't dare to kneel anymore, so she kowtowed to Gu Qingwan, so she went back aggrieved. It's just that Gu Qingwan treated her as usual for a few days after that, and after Baodian was suspicious, she felt that Gu Qingwan didn't care if she was afraid, and finally relieved.
This night, the eldest lady sent away the people of the He family, and as soon as she entered the inner courtyard, she was invited to the Tansong courtyard by Mrs. Gu. Although Old Madam Gu fainted during the day and had the element of pretending to be sick, if she really told Gu Mingli and Xiao Sun's affairs, Old Madam Gu was afraid that she would be really sick.
Old Madam Gu doesn't like the He family, and the eldest lady knows it after watching it for a few years. One is Mrs. Gu's sister-in-law, and the other is her niece, so Mrs. Gu naturally wants to be partial. She was angry, most likely because the He family deceived people too much, and the most evil fire was going to be on Gu Qingwan.
According to the eldest lady's thoughts, it is the best way to make up the dowry in the second room, and everyone does not tear their faces, and Gu Mingli and Xiao Sun also have to agree. If Old Madam Gu knew about it, it would be another commotion.
Therefore, Mrs. Gu only knew that Gu Mingli and Xiao Sun's dowry had been used by the He family, and now they had to make up for it, but they didn't say how much they had to make up, nor did they say the three conditions of the He family.
Finally got out of Mrs. Gu and came back, the eldest lady was also sulky, and when Dingyuan Hou returned home at night, the husband and wife talked at night. As a result of the discussion, Marquis Dingyuan also felt that this was the method that would cause the least damage to the Gu family, and he would not use the money in the public to fill the gap of the He family's dowry, and not do anything about their big house.
As for Gu Qingwan's dowry in the future, the public only needs to issue one copy according to the example, although the princess's dowry is of a higher standard, compared with the benefits of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, it is simply a drop in the bucket.
And Xiao Sun's was carried back to Jinhuitang that day. I asked the doctor to prescribe medicine and take a sticker, and when I woke up, I drove the maids out of the house, and I was alone in the room crying.
After crying a little better, he took his account book to reconcile. When I thought that most of the things in the booklet would have to be removed, I just felt like a knife. And at this time, Gu Mingli naturally didn't have much time to comfort her.
The He family asked to make up the dowry before October, although Gu Mingli still left a few of He's properties and some antique calligraphy and paintings in private, but it was not enough to put them together. He also had to ponder overnight whether it was more cost-effective to take back the properties he had sold before, or whether it was cost-effective to make up the money at the market price, so he naturally took into account Xiao Sun's emotions flawlessly.
Although Mrs. Gu pretended to be sick, she also had a false alarm, the old man was weak, and he was also sick the next day.
Xiao Sun's family was also seriously ill, and after Gu Mingli was called by the Marquis of Dingyuan to teach him a lesson, he worked harder to make up the dowry list as soon as possible, and he came to Gu Qingwan for trouble.
And the eldest lady had already ordered that the matter of the He family's visit should not be mentioned again. At the beginning, there was a mother-in-law with a broken mouth who chewed a few words, but in a blink of an eye, the eldest lady was sent to the Zhuangzi in Qizhou, so the subordinates immediately banned each other.
Therefore, until Gu Qingwan followed the two grandmothers in the palace to learn the rules, Gu Qingwan's life was very leisurely.
As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, Gu Qingwan followed the eldest lady in the morning to learn housekeeping. At least the matter of the He family didn't affect the eldest lady too much last time, and she was still very kind to Gu Qingwan. It's just that around the Mid-Autumn Festival is the day when the eldest girl Gu Qingshu is due to give birth, and the eldest lady is always a little restless these days.
And after taking a nap at noon, the two grandmothers from the palace would come to Yuanxiang Pavilion on time to teach Gu Qingwan the rules. Although the two of them were strict, they were not deliberately harsh, and they behaved in a proper manner and were polite. Gu Qingwan got along with them for a few days, but she liked the temperament of these two grandmothers.
Overall, Gu Qingwan was quite satisfied, if Gu Qingyan didn't stick to herself like a gummy, she would be even more satisfied. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
